Milan's public prosecutor has decided to drop the fraud case against Gianluca Rocchi, the former head of referee appointments in Serie A, and his deputy Andrea Gervasoni. Both men had faced allegations of sports fraud, charges that have now been formally dismissed.

Rocchi served as Italy's referee designator — the official responsible for assigning referees to matches across the Italian top flight — before the case was brought against him. Gervasoni, his second-in-command, was implicated alongside him.

No further details about the reasons behind the dismissal have been disclosed by the prosecutor's office.
